Association of positive airway pressure adherence with use of antihypertensive drugs in patients with sleep apnoea.

Background: The impact of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy on the use of oral antihypertensive drugs (OAHDs) in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between PAP use and the delivery of OAHDs.

Methods: Data from the Pays de la Loire Sleep Cohort were linked with the French health insurance database to quantify OAHD delivery in patients with hypertension at the initiation of PAP therapy.

QCD Predictions for Physical Multimeson Scattering Amplitudes.

We use lattice QCD calculations of the finite-volume spectra of systems of two and three mesons to determine, for the first time, three-particle scattering amplitudes with physical quark masses. Our results are for combinations of π^{+} and K^{+}, at a lattice spacing a=0.063  fm, and in the isospin-symmetric limit.

Validation of the Microarray Patch for Vaccination (MAPVac) scale to measure the perceptions of safety, usability, and acceptability.

Introduction: Vaccination is a crucial element of public and population health. Microarray patches (MAPs) may improve vaccine uptake due to reduced pain, being needle-free, enhanced thermostability, and potential for self or lay administration. We aimed to validate a scale that measures perceptions of MAP vaccine safety, usability, and acceptability in adults aged 18+.
